jhameia: ME! (Joline)
[personal profile] jhameia
I went on a nerdy spree today, and bought books AND magazines, of various types. I'm always proud of the variety of stuff I get, no matter whether I'm in a book store or a CD store.

From the Daily Grind, magazine store:
- Harper's - Notably for its cover story "How Shakespeare Conquered The World" and this gorgeous, heroic looking picture of The Bard in front.
- Room - feminist literary magazine. I presented a short story from one of its previous issues for class.
- Neo-Opsis - a science fiction magazine. It's fairly new: this is the 10th issue I got. It looks very shiney and feels really nice. It's got so much text that I shiver.
- Fantasy & Science Fiction - I shouldn't be buying this one, considering that I still haven't gotten through the last one I bought. I'm going to hit the the editorials first this time, I think.
- Ricepaper - The magazine for Asian-Canadians. It was really hard to find this time, because it's half the size that it used to be. It's actually a lot handier and easier to carry around, I think. I'm also guessing that it's starting to do REALLY well, because there're very few advertisements in between pages.

Then from its next door neighbour, Bookmark, pure drama:
- Aristophanes - Lysistrata, the Archanians, the Clouds
- The Plays of Oscar Wilde - Vera, the Duchess of Padua, Salome (read), Lady Windermere's Fan, A Woman of No Importance, An Ideal Husband (read), the Importance of Being Earnest (read), La Sainte Courtisane, A Florentine Tragedy.
- August Strindberg - Miss Julie, The Father, A Dream Play, The Ghost Sonata, Dance of Death
- Eugene O'Neill: Collected Shorter Plays - Bound East for Cardiff, Fog, Thirst, The Long Voyage, Home, Ile, The Moon of the Caribbees, In the Zone, the Hairy Ape, Hughie
and finally, an interesting looking one: The Power of Ignorance: The Play


The latter batch is, of course, for perusal over the summer so that 100 Years of Drama @ SMU can be better encompassed by a wide variety of works. If the new SMUDS executives don't want to use these, then that's okay, they'll go straight into my personal collection.
